I was reluctant but insanely curious to see how it would all end with the littlest Hathaway, Beatrix. Leo and his unlikely pairing with tight-lipped governess, Catherine Marks. Poppy and her unconventional rogue husband, Harry Rutledge. Amelia who found love with gypsy-man, Cam Rohan. I've read all of their trials and tribulations, heartbreaks and triumphs. And youngest Hathaway, Beatrix, who found more in common with animals than the debutante’s she was forced to socialize with. Poppy, the beautiful middle sister who only wanted to find contentment and safety in marriage, the same as her parent’s had. Winifred, who was still frail and feeble, recovering from an illness which killed Leo’s beloved fiancé leaving him to drown in grief. Amelia, the eldest Hathaway, who was forced to become surrogate mother to her sibling brood.
With the death of both their parents still fresh in their hearts, the rambunctious Hathaway clan traipsed to Stony Cross to accept responsibilities none of them were equipped for. They came from humble country beginnings, thrust into ton society with the unexpected death of a distant relative which passed a Lordship title to the only male Hathaway, Leo. I, and many fans, have fallen hopelessly in love with the Hathaway clan. I was very sad to begin ‘Love in the Afternoon’. As a HUGE Kleypas fan-girl I can unequivocally pledge that this is one of her finest novels to date. ‘Love in the Afternoon’ is the fifth and last book in Lisa Kleypas’s ‘Hathaways’ series. What began as Beatrix's innocent deception has resulted in the agony of unfulfilled love - and a passion that can't be denied. Soon the correspondence between Beatrix and Christopher develops into something fulfilling and deep.and when Christopher comes home, he's determined to claim the woman he loves. When Beatrix learns of Pru's disappointment, she decides to help by concocting Pru's letters to Christopher for her. But, as he explains in his letters to Pru, life on the battlefield has darkened his soul - and it's becoming clear that Christopher won't come back as the same man. Has the time come for the most unconventional of the Hathaway sisters to settle for an ordinary man - just to avoid spinsterhood?Ĭaptain Christopher Phelan is a handsome, daring soldier who plans to marry Beatrix's friend, the vivacious flirt Prudence Mercer, when he returns from fighting abroad. Even though she participated in the London season in the past, the classic beauty and free-spirited Beatrix has never been swept away or seriously courted.and she has resigned herself to the fate of never finding love. As a lover of animals and nature, Beatrix Hathaway has always been more comfortable outdoors than in the ballroom.
